denticulate (teeth minute, about 5mm. apart), submembranace- 
ous, above densely glandular-puberulous along the nerves, essenti- 
ally glabrous on surface, beneath duller green, evenly but not 
densely hirsute-pilose, densely so along the veins and somewhat glan- 
dular there, triplinerved above the base and loosely prominulous- 
reticulate beneath, bullate in age above; heads 2 cm. wide, very 
numerous in panicles 9-19 cm. wide; bracts ovate, 6-15 mm. long; 
pedicels often decurved, glandular-puberulous and _hirsute-pilose 
with several-celled hairs, 1-3.5 cm. long; disk subglobose, 6-8 mm. 
high, 8-13 mm. wide; outer phyllaries 5, broadly ovate, acutish, 
thin-herbaceous, ciliate, otherwise glabrous, 6-9 mm. long, 4.5- 
6mm. wide; inner phyllaries (subtending the rays) oblong-oval, 
obtuse, membranous, hirsute-pilose, 6mm. long; rays 12-14, 
yellow, exceeding the involucre, the lamina oval, 7 mm. long, 3.5 
mm. wide, the tube densely hirsute-pilose; disk corollas yellow, 
sparsely hispid-pilose, 3.8 mm. long (tube 1.8 mm., throat broadly 
campanulate, 1.5mm., teeth o.5mm.); pales acute, vittate, 
sparsely hirsute-pilose dorsally, 3.5 mm. long; ray achenes obliquely

his species is related to P. lehmannii Hieron., which has broadly margined 
petioles, merely glandular-puberulous pedicels, sidllex outer phyllaries (5.5 by 
1.75 mm.), which are puberulous at base, and 7-10 rays. It is also near P. 
arborea Hieron., but in that species, represented in the National Herbarium 
by fragments from the type, the somewhat larger outer phyllaries are densely 
stipulate-glandular and sparsely hirsute-pilose on the back. Hotway’s label 
gives the height of the plant as 12-15 ft. PacHAaNo calls it a ‘‘slender tree,” 
and gives the vernacular name as “‘polaco”; JAHN gives the name “anime.” 
Monopholis, gen. nov.—Shrubs with large alternate serrulate 
or subentire leaves and many-headed terminal panicles of small pale 
yellow cylindric heads; heads homogamous or heterogamous, the 
disk flowers hermaphrodite, fertile, those of the ray when present 
pistillate; involucre about 3-seriate, graduate, passing into the 
pales, the phyllaries chiefly linear-elliptic or elliptic, indurated-
